SOCIAL ETIQUETTE,
A Plea for Improvement in Our Public
Manners,

A Plea for Improvement in Our Public
Manners.
The subject of behavior in public places
is Of interest to everybody, and the sins of
the American woman in this respect have
been much remarked upon. Harper's Bazaar
asserts that she has no sense Of etiquette in
public places. She talks and laughs at the
opera when an artist is singing. She behaves
worse at a matinee than any other woman in
the world She crowds, shoves, shows temper
and lack of good feeling. She does not in
her opera box always behave quietly and
like lady. She gets up, turns her back on
the audience, adjusts her dress, laughs and
talks audibly to her cavalier.
The same authority makes other pointed
comments, some of which are, in brief, as
follows:
A young American prima donna used to be
invited by an American lady to go with her
to the opera and sit in a conspicuous box.
She took her manners with her, talked,
laughed, ate sweetmeats threw papers into
the next box, and behaved as if she were
tipsy. Christine Nilsson sat in box near
her. Gravely, silently respectful to the
ingers was the great Swedish genius. She
| did not do any of these things. She looked
mournfully at the American. The best and
the highest are respectful The lowest in
rank are impertinent and poor in manner
and in style.
In society, in a crowd, we need les con,
venances; they help us to keep our natures in
check; they make the world a fit place tc
live in. When we are exposed to the brutality
of ill hammered people we learn how uncom
Portable the world would be if there were ne
etiquette.

motto: "Do unto others as ye would tha

The Proper Treatment of the Hair.

Ahe PROPER ireHtmenb OF tne hhtfs
DR.. G. T. jackson, Of the New York County
Medical society, sums up the proper treat
ment of the hair, which is preventive of
badness, as follows:
The scalp should be kept clean by an occa-
sional shampoo of soap and water, borax and
water, or some such simple means. This
should not be repeated oftener than once in
two or three weeks; and after the washing
the scalp should be carefully dried, and vase
line or sweet almond oil applied. Women
should dry the hair by the fire or in the sun,
and not dress it until dry. The hair should
be thoroughly brushed and combed daily, for
five or ten minutes, with vigor sufficient to
make the scalp glow. For this a brush
should havelong and moderately stiff bristles,
set in groups widely separated from each
other. Such brush will reach the scalp, and
brush out the dust. A comb with large,
smooth teeth should be used with the brush
to open up the hair to the air.
Pomades should not be used, and the daily
sousing of the hair discontinued Women
should not use bandoline, nor pull or twist
the hair, nor scorch it with curling irons nor
smother it under false hair.

Why Some People Wear Eye G,asses.
Various Practical Items for Every Day.
Spectacles are much more worn than they
we're half a dozen years ago. 1t is no longer
matter of surprise to see them on children
of 8 to 10 years of age An oculist being
asked If diseases of the eye are on the in
crease, thinks they are not, but that vanity
puts many people into spectacles. Only an
oculist can have any idea how many people
wear eye glasses because they think it adds to
their personal appearance.
In regard to young people, they study and
read by dim lamp light, and, of course, the
eye becomes somewhat weakened; then the
parents rush of and get pair of spectacles,
and often patronize men who will sell them
any kind of glass, just to get the money.
This carelessness is dangerous and sometimes
fatal to the organs Of sight.

ROUND HAT WITH WIDE RRIM.

The French round hats are moro dressy in
effect than are the English hats. Numbered
with French hats are felt ones, with the
brims rolled up high on either side. There
are also hats with wide brims irregularly
rolled, and hats with wide poke front and
long ribbons coming from the back to tie
loosely in front The cut hero given illus
trates a round hat with wide brim and rib
bon ties. 1t is Paris pattern hat of dark
gray felt The brim, which is lined with
black felt and turned up on one side, widens
from two to five and-one-half inches. A tuft
of shaded gray feathers furnishes the trim
mings. The strings start from bow at the
back and are of dark gray corded ribbon,
with picot edge.

A Bank Cashier Who had Stolen $4,000
from the Bank and skipped out to Cincinnati,
Went to a Lawyer and said:
'How can I Fix Matters so as to be safe
from the Law"

for Half the Amount ? was the Prompt reply.
When this had been done the Thief Ex-
pressed his Great Pleasure and Satisfaction,

"And now what shall Pay you for your

"The Other Half, sirl" was the Calm reply.

The polonaise and BASQUE.

There is no question but the polonaise
is revived. Paris modistes affect it, and con-
sequently many imported costumes show it.
Basques, however, remain in favor among
New York modistes, notwithstanding the re-
introduction of the polonaise. Basques are
this autumn cut little longer on the hips
than was the style last season. Some Of them
are fashioned after the Louis Quatorze coat,
with fiat, square pockets at the sides
The fronts of the basque corsages show a
great variety of cut and styles of trimmings.
Vests and plastrons continue in favor. The
collars stand high and require two fasten-
ings. Coat sleeves are preferred for all even
ing dresses designed for street wear.

Backward and Dreamy chi1dren

Growing children should seldom be hur-
ried or pushed forward in any way. Ner-
vous diseases of the most obstinate and baf-
fling type, affecting the whole life of the in
diyidual, are sometimes brought on by the
injudicious forcing of the child Those chill

usually prove strongest in nerve and mind,

slow growth. If child inclines to day

New Dress Fabrics,


Irish poplins are revived in Scotch plaids
that are regular clan tartans; also in the
Prince Of Wales plaid of blue and green to-
gether and also in fanciful French colorings
These plaids, says Harper's Bazaar, are to be
used for kilt skirts and draperies with cloth
basques-a fashion long in favor with young
ladies'
A new cloth called Himalaya, and also An
CORA cloth, has long soft fleece like that on
the Himalaya shawls, and is very effective
either as trimming in borders on skirts or as
the lower skirt under wool polonaise. The
fleece is so long and firm that this cloth is
used with raw edges, which the fleece covers
just as fur is cut, making it excellent for bor-
ders three in a row on cloth skirts, and re-
quiring only pinked leaf points at the foot

A new wool fabric, described by the al-
thority quoted from, is called velvet cloth,
because it has a thick pile like velvet. This
substantial cloth needs no trimming, and is
